STPAR - Street Parade |
For sure, the love mobiles will roll again on this summer's street parade. Each year, the organisers decide on a fixed order for the decorated trucks. Experience taught them to keep free a side street to be able to bring the trucks into order.
The side street is so narrow that no two cars can pass each other. Thus, the love mobile that enters the side street last must necessarily leave the side street first. Because the trucks and the ravers move up closely, a truck cannot drive back and re-enter the side street or the approach street.
You are given the order in which the love mobiles arrive. Write a program that decides if the love mobiles can be brought into the order that the organisers want them to be.
Input
There are several test cases. The first line of each test case contains a single number n, the number of love mobiles. The second line contains the numbers 1 to n in an arbitrary order. All the numbers are separated by single spaces. These numbers indicate the order in which the trucks arrive in the approach street. No more than 1000 love mobiles participate in the street parade. Input ends with number 0.
Output
For each test case your program has to output a line containing a single word "yes" if the love mobiles can be re-ordered with the help of the side street, and a single word "no" in the opposite case.
Example
Sample input: 5 5 1 2 4 3 0 Sample output: yes
Illustration
The sample input reflects the following situation:
The five trucks can be re-ordered in the following way:

First of I think this is a better algo. than mine: https://www.algorithmist.com/index.php/SPOJ_STPAR But here is my algo. : I store input in a queue because if you look at it its FIFO and I use stack for the backstreet because it is LIFO. Then I got a while loop that goes thru entire input queue until all elements are popped out. Next I have while loop that goes thru entire stack until it reaches my sentinel(-1). Finally I check if top of stack is -1. If it is then that means everything is correct so I say "yes", else I say "no". Basically the cases to check for are: (top of stack == next_num), (top of queue == next_num), last case is covered by a simple else(none of next numbers in stack/queue are == next_num). Here might be interesting case: 5 4 1 5 3 2 output: no Last edit: 2019-05-15 07:02:08 |

hI can anyone please provide some corner case, my logic is working right even on big test cases like 1 9 5 3 2 4 8 7 6 10 15 13 11 12 14 I don't know why I am getting WA |

Be careful to reset the variables inside loop. Costed me like 5 WAs. Only a stack is needed, no array required. For a certain condition like when top element in stack is less than current element and current element cant be put to parade you can just skip all the next ip elements and announce it is a "no". |

It's good problem but if you think you are good coder you need to solve it within 10 minute Last edit: 2019-03-28 15:56:42 |

@iamthedanger I have tried all the test cases provided by you but still I gets WA. |
